No child should face hospital alone
Are you a bold, compassionate leader ready to shape services that put children’s voices, rights and wellbeing at the heart of everything? We are looking for a Head of Services to help us deliver on our strategic ambition: no child should face hospital alone.
This is more than a leadership role—it’s a chance to transform how children experience hospital life. You’ll lead with vision, empathy and excellence, ensuring our trauma-informed, child-centred services reflect the principles of the UNCRC and meet the highest standards of quality, safeguarding and impact.
What you’ll bring:
1. You know how to build and scale services that make a real difference.
2. You believe children should be heard, involved and empowered.
3. You’re driven by data, learning and continuous improvement.
4. You build strong, collaborative relationships across sectors.
5. You deliver services that are safe, ethical and accountable.
Why join us?
You’ll be joining us at a pivotal moment, as we launch a bold ten-year commitment to children and families. This is a chance to shape the future of hospital experiences for children—making sure no child ever faces hospital alone.
You’ll work alongside a team of passionate, talented individuals who live by a shared promise. We’ve agreed, always, to:
6. Be led by the needs of children and families.
7. Be great around them. And speak up for them.
8. Be proactive. Take ownership. See it through.
9. Go beyond our personal comfort zone.
10. Be unapologetically helpful.
If you’re ready to make the commitment that no child should face hospital alone, and rewrite the hospital experience for thousands of children, we’d love to hear from you.
